Yesterday I went bulk shopping. It’s a perfect way to save money by spending loads in one go.

Every time I go to a supermarket and fill my little basket with not that many products it’s 30 euro or more. It just seems to get more expensive every year so to safe money I started bulk shopping.

Bulk shopping works fine for meat and things that last a long time.

Wine

Three of these boxes are for a friend of mine. All these wines were on a big discount. I paid under €6 a bottle for the wine I bought. And this is delicious stuff. Average price (according to the Vivino app I use) almost €13 per bottle.

€7 euro saved per bottle. That's great.

This is the Vivino app, it's great to quickly check some reviews about a wine

Coffee

I drink a lot of coffee. I saved €1,50 per package buying this on discount. That's €27 saved by buying bulk.

---

Meat

Both these pieces were around €8 to €9 euro per kilo. Wich is cheap for good quality meat in the Netherlands.

Preparing the meat

It's a little bit more work preparing everything. You need to cut your own steaks and put them in little bags to freeze.

I couldn't help myself. I had to try a piece. It was great.

The under rib I cut into chunks and put in several freezer bags. Great meat to prepare in the pressure cooker or for a stew.

The only problem with buying bulk is that you need to have the money to do the initial investment. I spend around €300 euro on all the produce (my friend's wine not included) and that's way more than a €30 basket.

But the way I look at it is simple. For the next months, I don't have to buy coffee in the supermarket. I don't have to buy meat. I don't have to buy wine and some other that stuff we bought.

The money I spend monthly on grocery shopping will go down for the next months plus I now have access to high-quality products!

Saving money and have access to high-quality products!

My Dutch saving heart is radiating with joy :)
